Stephanie and Derek had an awesome wedding at Zaca Creek Ranch. Being a big fan of rustic weddings I can only think of a handful of venues in the area that are as beautiful as Zaca Creek Ranch! This place is true to the tradition of “Old California”.

Stephanie and Derek are an awesome couple. Their friends and family know how to celebrate and didn’t hold back! This wedding is one of my favorites of 2011. Thank you Stephanie and Derek for having me there!

As I said in yesterday’s post fall is just about here and with that comes vineyard weddings! Vineyards, ranches and other rustic venues are my favorite for weddings and among my most favorite is Gainey Vineyard! Needless to say Gainey Vineyard is where Natalie and Rene had their wedding. The getting ready pictures happened at the Hotel Corque in Solvang and the wedding ceremony and reception were at Gainey. Check out some of my favorites from my latest Gainey Vineyard Wedding…

Liz and Tom’s wedding was at Gainey Vineyard. Gainey is one of my favorite local wineries and I love shooting weddings there! The day began at the Hotel Corque in Solvang where Liz and her friends & family were getting ready. My assistant and I stopped in for some candids before making our way to Gainey Vineyard for Liz and Tom’s destination wedding! Check out a few of my favorite shots of the day…

Cristina and Andrew are a couple from the San Francisco Bay Area who’s wedding took us all over beautiful Santa Barbara! I love weddings like this because I get to play tour guide as well as wedding photographer! The day began at Fess Parker’s Doubletree Hotel and Resort where Cristina and Andrew were getting ready. The wedding ceremony itself was held under an oak tree at Butterfly Beach followed by an intimate brunch wedding reception at The Montecito Four Seasons Biltmore. After the reception we went all over town doing pictures. Our destinations included the Santa Barbara Mission, the Santa Barbara Courthouse, the Four Seasons Biltmore, Chase Palm Park and finally back to Butterfly Beach for sunset. Check out Cristina and Andrew’s slide show and some of my favorite pictures from the day!

This year I have been spoiled. If there are two things I look forward to as a wedding photographer they are fall weddings and vineyard weddings. This fall I have been lucky enough to have several vineyard weddings; the latest of which being Lisa and Quinn’s wedding at Firestone Vineyard in Los Olivos. Firestone Vineyard is one of my favorite places for wedding photography due to their beautiful surroundings and awesome staff! Firestone Vineyard is one of those rustic wedding venues that works very well with my style and use of infrared photography. Check out some of my favorite shots of the day…
